Abstract
A renal angiomyolipoma is uncommon congenital mixed tumor like formations consisting of blood vessel, smooth muscle cells and adipose tissue. We report a case of retroperitoneal hemorrhage from spontaneous rupture of renal angiomyolipoma in a 37 year-old woman that appeared unilateral and pedunculated attached to renal cortex. The patient presented with a clinical feature of flank pain and shock because of massive hemorrhage. Because the patient suffered from flank pain regardless of selective renal embolization, laparoscopic surgery was necessary to remove angiomyolipoma from renal cortex.
Key Words: Angiomyolipoma, Kidney cortex, Spontaneous rupture
